Subdividing The Bainbridge Class
Some sources break the Bainbridge class into other classes.
- Hopkins and Hull were oil-fueled rather than coal-fueled, had turtle deck forward and may be considered to be Hopkins-class.
- Lawrence and Macdonough had two additional 6-pounder guns, turtledeck forward, carried their funnels in only one group of four and may be considered to be Lawrence-class.
- Paul Jones, Perry and Preble carried one twin torpedo tube instead of two singles and may be considered to be Lawrence-class.
- Stewart was equipped with Seabury boilers and was fastest of the 400-tonners (she was also the smallest).

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“But you must know the class of sweet women—who are always so happy to declare “they have all the rights they want”; “they are perfectly willing to let their husbands vote for them”Mare and always have been numerous, though it is an occasion for thankfulness that they are becoming less so.”
—Eliza “Mother” Stewart (1816–1908)
